Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on this. The draw is not out yet, but she is a Home Wild Card at this tourney again. She played Carla Suarez-Navarro 1-0 in sets and had her down in the 2nd before bowing out in the 3rd. I actually watched the match and she was hitting some nice winners. If you remember she had a great US Open coming through the qualies and beating Pironkova and Hercog. Of course it all depends on the match up but taking her + games and a small money line bet I think will be worth it.

Comment -
hmm is she worth a shot ?Comment -
Mandy covers the spread! +5.5...Local crowd helped thatComment -
had her chances in the 1st set..6 break opps but no dice...Ill take the spread win!Comment -
Nice call on the spread. Thought she had it, but she couldn't get over the hill and break.Comment -
2 years in a row she played well..maybe she just doesn't have the it,still a nice living on the ITF tour..Comment -
Nice work.Comment -
Well here we go again. Thought I would dredge up this thread since Minella is playing Keo. Now Mandy has never been able to break through at her home country tourney since she first was able to play at age 16. But she finally has her best chance to EVER to win here vs finally a good draw in playing a Qualifier. Minella is a real solid dog play at +225 or +115 at +4.5 currently. As before in this thread earlier, I have watched both the Suarez-N and Georges matches the last two years and she has played well covering both spreads. I think the the drought comes to an end on Tuesday. If you notice the tourney organizers have made it the feature match and last one of the day. Plenty of time for folks to get off work and see the #1 player in the country finally get her win. Both times I've watched in 2009 and 2010 the crowd was a major influence in how well she played to cover IMO.Comment -
dude minella sucks...Comment -
Yes, I agree, but in her own country's home tourney she covers spreads..Comment -
im tempted to make a play on herComment -
Winner on spread!! 3 years in a row. Go Mandy!Comment -
Same old story...Covers but never enough to get over the top.Comment -
Here we go again..third year in a row.I think Mandy is playing her best this year.And once again she is a dog in her home country tourney.Covered the last 3 years but not won. Playing the ultimate fruitcake in Sabine Lisicki who got upset in the first round in Linz. Never know where her head is at, but with the home crowd behind her and having her best ranking ever at 78, time to bet her at +175 right now and of course a play on the handicap. Dont usually auto bet a player, but Mandy in Lux for sure is one of those.
Edit:Handicap is +3.5..
Good luck!!Comment -
Handicap too low, better to take Minella to win outright, I think.Comment -
Yeah was thinking the same thing.She has come close every year and she is the best she ever has been with Sabines space cadet play, now or never man..Comment -
Well Sabine pulled out of the tourney.Now she plays Barthel and is a much larger dog.Handicap should be around 4.5-5.5...taking it..Comment -
Shit, she is falling apart...Fukking retire!!Comment -
Sorry dudes. She was playing so well and then fell apart..Comment
